Have you ever considered how much plastic is in the average American home? It's everywhere. It is even in the bathroom. Take a look at your toothbrush. It probably has a plastic handle and plastic bristles. Now, consider a compostable toothbrush from Ecofam. Compostable toothbrushes are part of our family of sustainable oral care products.
Oral care is important, right? So regardless of how we do it, we need to brush our teeth on a regular basis. But there is no need to produce more plastic just to maintain good oral health. There are ways to do it – even with toothbrushes – that do not involve more plastic.
Ecofam's eco-friendly toothbrushes are designed to be sustainable. They are designed to be compostable, meaning you can dispose of them when they need replacement but still do so with the knowledge that you are not putting more plastic into a landfill.
More About Compostable Toothbrushes
Making a toothbrush compostable is really about what happens to it after it's no longer usable. At some point, every toothbrush reaches end-of-life. Then it's off to the trash can. Since compostable toothbrushes contain no plastic, they are more environmentally friendly. But think about their nature as compostable products.
A compostable product will break down in soil very quickly. And when it does, it becomes a natural part of the soil. This is why a compostable toothbrush is considered a big part of sustainable oral care.
Manufacturing compostable toothbrushes is all about choosing the right materials. For example, we use a cornstarch material to make our handles. We have seen other companies making handles from bamboo. Regardless, the natural materials break down and become part of the environment once again.
An eco-friendly toothbrush is:
- Biodegradable.
- Sustainable.
- Able to help decrease the volume of plastic we throw away.
Just imagine how much plastic could be kept out of landfills if every American switched to an eco-friendly toothbrush made with biodegradable materials. How many millions of plastic toothbrushes would be taken out of the waste stream? It is hard to imagine. But it is a goal worth shooting for.
Why Choose the EcoFam Brand
Compostable toothbrushes are just one of the many eco-friendly and sustainable oral care products we sell. Our toothbrushes are ideal for kids and adults alike. You can purchase them as single products or in 4 and 8 packs. We also offer a variety of colors.
Why should you choose Ecofam over another brand? Consider the following:
- Antimicrobial Bristles – Our toothbrushes clean your teeth with silver-infused bristles. The bristles are antimicrobial by design, to encourage and protect good oral health.
- Compostable Materials – As mentioned earlier, the handles of our toothbrushes are made using a cornstarch material. They are 100% biodegradable.
- Simple Disposal – We have designed our toothbrushes with both simplicity and sustainability and mind. They are simply disposed of in the same way you would dispose of any other toothbrush. But because they are biodegradable, disposal is still sustainable.
We invite you to consider switching to an eco-friendly toothbrush. Give Ecofam a try for yourself. If you like our toothbrushes – and we think you will – buy new toothbrushes for the whole family. You might even consider our monthly subscription plan as well.
Brushing your teeth does not have to involve plastic. Throwing away an old toothbrush doesn't have to mean contributing to an unsustainable waste stream. With Ecofam compostable toothbrushes, sustainable oral care is within your reach.
We hope you will consider going with an eco-friendly toothbrush when you're ready to replace the brush you currently use. Ecofam will be here with compostable toothbrushes, sustainable toothpaste tablets, and more.
